50.4% of residents who cast votes at Special Town Meeting approved the MBTA Zoning Bylaw.
Initially, Moderator Paul Cimino called the motion as having failed. After several voters demanded a recount. That prompted a headcount which resulted in 181 in favor and 178 opposed. (Which means many of the over 500 voters who checked in apparently didn’t vote.)
The meeting is still continuing at this time, with 10 more Articles to go.
Stay tuned for coverage with more details on Article 8 and other votes tomorrow.
